Ick heb ghesyt by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Ick heb gheseyt hoe dat ick sal
mijn tong, en weghen bewaren wel,
als mi die sondaer sal teghen staen,
dat ick mi niet en sal ontgaen.
Doert swighen ben ick verootmoet,
en het versweghen, al was het goet.

About Ick heb ghesyt
The composer André Vierendeels crafts a reflective mood in this SAB setting of a Dutch hymn. The vocal lines interact with gentle counterpoint, creating a texture that supports the introspective text. The lyrics speak of guarding one's tongue, the humility found in silence, and a longing for divine clarity regarding the brevity of life. It is a sacred work that invites contemplation, suitable for a choir seeking music with a thoughtful message and a warm, blended sound. The harmonic language is accessible, making it a practical choice for many church choirs.
